Men who have performed their
military service already receive a card when they turn 27 stating that they
have fulfilled their obligation to the state.

"This document will certify that
the citizen has evaded military duty to the fatherland without a valid
excuse," a source familiar with the situation told Interfax.

"The scale of draft dodging in
the country is disastrous - nearly 250,000 men evaded military service in 2012,
so the Defense Ministry is contemplating amendments to the Federal Law on
Military Duty and Military Service.

The amendments will replace military
service cards with certificates for 27-year-old citizens who have been dodging
their military duty," the source said.
